Capodanno (G)
[T]
Very smart at best for Willie Mullins, last success coming in Cotswold Chase at Cheltenham in early 2024. Rather in and out since but posted respectable third at Fairyhouse when last seen 12 months ago and needs monitoring in market on deb…

Hang In There (G)
Returned to form when coming from well off the pace to land a similar contest at Chepstow (23.6f) in October. Below form in open company at Newcastle since but warrants respect, particularly if the ground dries up.

Sam Brown (G)
[BT]
Likeable veteran who ran to a smart level when winning this contest (off 2 lb higher) last term. Below that level in both starts this season, however, and others appeal more.

Eldorado Allen (G)
[PT]
Enhanced his excellent first-time-out record when making all at Cheltenham (20.2f) in November and ran respectably both starts since, latest when fourth at Windsor (22.2f, soft) 41 days ago. Returns to veterans company now and looks sure t…

Mister Coffey (G)

Still to score over fences despite numerous good efforts, including when second in similar contest at Cheltenham (20.2f) in November. Disappointed in cross country event at same course latest but could well bounce back here. Cheekpieces re…

Our Power (G)
[V1]
Lightly raced since landing brace of 3m handicaps in 2022/23 campaign but hard to knock his consistency last term, placed on all 4 starts. Not really fired this term yet but looks fairly treated for his first crack at veterans events. Wear…

Copperhead (G)
[PT]
Proved a revelation in veterans company last term notching fourth win of the campaign in Series Final off this mark at Market Rasen in January 2025. However, no impact on Cheltenham return before unseating at Sandown last time so comes wit…

Torn And Frayed (G)
Capitalised on a rival's bad mistake to notch a second victory in veterans company at Aintree (25f) in October and has run well in both starts since, latest when second of 8 in handicap chase (15/2) at Cheltenham (20.6f, good) 78 days ago.…

Brave Kingdom (G)
FAV
[T]
Low-mileage 10-y-o who took well to fences when winning back-to-back handicaps on first 2 starts in this sphere in 2023. Struggled in a handful of outings after before stopping the slide when second in Taunton handicap (23f, soft) last mon…

Gabbys Cross (G)
[P1]
Back to somewhere near recent best, on second start for new yard, when third in similar contest at Sandown (24.2f) in January. Never competitive in stronger event at same course since but can't be ruled out here. Cheekpieces on first time.
